The European Trade Association for Business Angels, Seed Funds, and other Early Stage Market Players – EBAN - is proud to present the “EBAN White Paper – 2010: Early stage investing: an asset class in support of the EU strategy for growth and jobsa recipe for the EU to become one of the world’s most dynamic early stage investment markets". The publication includes policy recommendations aimed at supporting the growth and professionalization of this asset class in support of young innovative companies throughout Europe. 
 
"It is now even more important that we stimulate new angel investment for our high growth start up and early stage SMEs as our economies come out of recession. I therefore recommend this document produced by EBAN dedicated to all policy makers and Government's across Europe as a call to action." says Anthony Clarke, EBAN Chairman Emeritus and Leader of the Policy Committee at EBAN. 
 
Most of the topics covered by the White Paper will be discussed during EBAN's Annual Winter University 2010 "Early stage investing: an asset class", the annual Winter gathering of the European  early stage investor community to take place this November 18th and 19th in Sophia Antipolis (Nice) France.
